Gunfire from Israeli forces struck near the courtyard of the Arab Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City on Monday, prompting journalists and civilians to flee the area in panic. Several rounds hit the hospital's courtyard, but no injuries were reported.
According to local reports, the gunfire was believed to have originated from Israeli drones or military vehicles positioned in the Al-Muntar Hill area, a strategic high point in eastern Gaza used by Israeli forces. The Israeli army has continued its military operations in the region, targeting multiple locations across the Strip.
Meanwhile, Israeli strikes on southern Gaza have intensified, with ongoing aerial and artillery bombardments reported. Evacuation efforts for the injured are underway but face significant challenges due to heavy fire and continued shelling.
The incident highlights the growing dangers faced by civilians and aid workers in the conflict zone as hostilities escalate and the humanitarian crisis worsens.
